Dawson-Lambton Glacier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dawson-Lambton Glacier is a heavily-crevassed glacier entering the southeastern Weddell Sea immediately west of the Brunt Ice Shelf. It was discovered in January 1915 by a British expedition led by Ernest Shackleton. He named it for Elizabeth Dawson-Lambton, a benefactress of the Shackleton expeditions.
